An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a connection portion configured to connect the information processing apparatus to a plurality of image forming apparatuses;
- a display portion configured to display a print setting screen and a predetermined operation button;
- a first acquisition portion configured to, when the predetermined operation button displayed on the display portion is operated, acquire management data including a plurality of meeting schedules in each of which meeting information relating to content of a meeting is associated with material information relating to a meeting material used for the meeting, and display the acquired management data on the display portion;
- a printing condition determination portion configured to, when a predetermined meeting schedule is specified from among the management data displayed on the display portion, determine, as a printing target, a meeting material that is associated with the specified meeting schedule, and determine, based on the meeting information and the material information included in the specified meeting schedule, a type of print sheet as a printing condition to be applied to a printing process for the meeting material that is associated with the specified meeting schedule,
- wherein the printing condition determination portion determines, based on the meeting information included in the specified meeting schedule, whether the meeting material to be used in the meeting is an external material or an in-house material, and upon determining that the meeting material is an external material, determines, based on the material information included in the specified meeting schedule, whether the external material is a predetermined document type that specifies a higher printing quality than for the in-house material and the external material,
- wherein the printing condition determination portion determines a first type of print sheet according to a first printing quality required for the meeting material that is determined as not an external material, determines a second type of print sheet according to a second printing quality required for the meeting material that is determined as an external material, and determines a third type of print sheet according to a third printing quality required for the meeting material that is determined as a predetermined document type among external materials, the third printing quality being a higher printing quality than the first printing quality and the second printing quality,
- a second acquisition portion configured to acquire printing condition information relating to a printing condition that can be set in each of the plurality of image forming apparatuses;
- a first selection portion configured to select, from among the plurality of image forming apparatuses, an image forming apparatus that satisfies the printing condition determined by the printing condition determination portion, based on the printing condition information acquired by the second acquisition portion, and
- a print-out portion configured to transmit, to the image forming apparatus selected by the first selection portion, printing data including the material information and the determined print condition, to cause the image forming apparatus to execute printing.
